Hey all, 

Dolly here with some goals to tick off one by one!

I really need to get a lot better with my finances. 

I'm 40 now so time to grow up and get a grip!

  • So not looking good for getting the debt paid off by the end of 2023. 

    I've dug myself into quite a little debt pit. Stupid decisions financially, me keeping my ex BF and his little girl financially for over 2 years, paying my ex's debt (stupid I know), shopping to make myself feel better, takeaways to make myself feel better - all of which have actually made me feel worse. 

    We live and we learn don't we. 

    I'll sit and get it all on here later so that I can start paying off bit by bit and keeping myself on track.
